Question

Give one example of the following:

solution of a gas in liquid

Answer 1

Solution: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components. Example: alloys, salt solution, etc.

Homogeneous mixture: A mixture that has a uniform composition and properties throughout its mass is known as a homogeneous mixture. Example: alloys, salt solution, etc.

Example of a gas in a liquid solution is soda water.

• In soda water, Carbon dioxide $\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$ gas is dissolved in Water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$
• In this solution, carbon dioxide gas act as a solute (the substance present in a smaller quantity in a solution) and water acts as a solvent (the substance present in a larger quantity in a solution).
